A great spot for a family getaway.

A great spot for a family getaway. Close enough to the main street for a quick ride in for supplies and far enough away to be away from the traffic. Plenty to do close by and if the weather turns bad there's heaps of room inside and lots of board games on offer. The fire place outside with the TV was great to stream our favourite vids have a few drinks and spin a few yarns.
